Yuntang (17 October 1683 – 22 September 1726), born Yintang, was a Manchu prince of the Qing dynasty.
In 1725, the Yongzheng Emperor stripped Yuntang off his beizi title, banished him from the Aisin Gioro clan, and imprisoned him in Baoding.
[1] He was not one of the Kangxi Emperor's favourite sons, but nonetheless managed to gain substantial wealth and influence among his brothers.
The Kangxi Emperor eventually decided to secretly designate an heir apparent, whose identity would only be revealed after his death.
[1] Three years later, in 1725, the Yongzheng Emperor stripped Yuntang off his beizi title, banished him from the Aisin Gioro clan, and forced him to change his name to "Seshe" (Manchu: ᠰᡝᠰᡥᡝ; Chinese: 塞思黑; pinyin: Sàisīhēi).
According to Hei tu dang (黑图档), a Manchu script document now kept in Liaoning Provincial Museum, the original term is "Seshe" (ᠰᡝᠰᡥᡝ).
